Traceroute to AWS Sydney

I was investigating ping times from home to instances in AWS Sydney and noticed the tracert would appear to have two US based IP addresses 99.82.176.65 and 99.82.176.65. Can anybody confirm these are US IP addresses and is this the correct/most efficient route to AWS Sydney
